Be it known that I, ALBERT D. FI LD, of New York,in the county of New York and State of NewYorl ,haveiuventedcertainnewanduseful Improvements in Ourtain-PoleOoverings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others. skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in window-pole coverings.

The object is to provide a covering capable of being extended or contracted to cover a greater or lesser portion of a pole, as may be desired.

With this end in view, my invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a pair of covering-sections in position in front of a pole. Fig. 2 is a transverse section through one of the covering-sections; and Fig. 3 represents one of several devices for rendering the covering extensible.

A represents covering-pieces made of any suitable material and adapted to cover all or a portion of the curtain-pole B to present an ornamental and showy finish which covers the joints or any defects or blemishes in the pole. These pieces A are secured, preferably, by

means of pins or bolts a to the front edge of the pole-bracket 0.

Now, in. order-to admit of an adjustment to .formed in sections, as shown in detail in Fig 3. As represented in this figure,the edges 00; of the female section are bent over, forming grooves adapted to receive the edges d (1', respectively, of the male section. This construc tion, however, is only one of the sev.eral..feasi-.

ble devices for extensibly securing the covering-pieces and at the same time admitting of the free sliding of the'rings or other sliding device.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with a curtain pole and twosupporting-brackets, of two extensible covering-pieces, one secured to each bracket, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereofI have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing wit- Witnesses:
